Fzf

Integrate fzf (command-line fuzzy finder) functionality into Fish. Includes handy functions to:

• complete commands via Tab
• search command history
• find and cd into sub-directories
• find and open files

All functions:

• are lazily-loaded to keep shell startup time down
• have configurable key bindings

Installation

System Requirements

• fzf >= 0.11.3
• Fish >= 2.4.0

Install with Fisher:

fisher install jethrokuan/fzf

Quickstart

Legacy	New Keybindings	Remarks
Ctrl-t	Ctrl-o	Find a file.
Ctrl-r	Ctrl-r	Search through command history.
Alt-c	Alt-c	cd into sub-directories (recursively searched).
Alt-Shift-c	Alt-Shift-c	cd into sub-directories, including hidden ones.
Ctrl-o	Alt-o	Open a file/dir using default editor ($EDITOR)
Ctrl-g	Alt-Shift-o	Open a file/dir using xdg-open or open command

Legacy keybindings are kept by default, but these have conflict with key bindings in Fish 2.4.0. If you want to use the new keybindings, ƒenter the following into your terminal:

set -U FZF_LEGACY_KEYBINDINGS 0

You can disable default keybindings altogether by running:

set -U FZF_DISABLE_KEYBINDINGS 1

Note: On OS X, Alt+C (Option-C) types ç by default. In iTerm2, you can send the right escape sequence with Esc+C. If you configure the option key to act as +Esc (iTerm2 Preferences > Profiles > Default > Keys > Left option (⌥) acts as: > +Esc), then Alt+C will work for fzf as documented.

fzf Tab Completions

This package ships with a fzf widget for fancy tab completions.

Please see the wiki page for details.

Alternatives

• fzf.fish is a newer fzf plugin with very similar features. It lacks fzf tab completion but includes functions for searching git log, git status, and browsing shell variables using fzf. Additionally, it is more likely to be maintained going forward. You can read more about the differences between it and this plugin on this fzf.fish Wiki page.
• The fzf utility ships with its own out-of-the-box Fish integration. What sets this package apart is that it has better shell integration, most notably tab completions. They are not compatible so use one or the other.
